African harbour cities at risk from rising sea-levels: scientists
African port cities in danger from rising sea-levels. At an international climate change conference in Cape Town, South Africa, Professor Geoff Brundrit of University of Cape Town and Chairman of the Global Ocean Observing System in Africa spoke of how even small increases in sea levels could put African harbor cities at great risk, with potential displacement for millions of people. He expressed concern for the continent’s vulnerability to increasingly severe climate change-related storms and called for quick action to address densely populated port cities such as Lagos, Nigeria in adapting to these new conditions.

Professor Brundrit and colleagues, we appreciate this important information. Let us all heed your urgent call for measures to safeguard the African people as we also strive to adopt lifestyles that mitigate the warming of the planet.

Supreme Master Ching Hai spoke of the increasingly dire situation of our world with our Association members and what must be done to save lives.

Supreme Master Ching Hai: We have already 18 at least islands already sink under the sea. Six meters under the sea already. And another 2000 are or at risk of sinking. It’s more or less like that. It will be many places. Earthquakes are everywhere now. Storm, flood everywhere, more than ever before. Every day you see on Supreme Master TV always something.

People begin vegetarian a lot because they want to save the planet. And saving the planet means saving lives.



Agriculture goes urban and hightech
Hydroponic farming sets trend. Richard Kann's family farm in the rural east Orange County community in Orlando, USA, is one successful example of a high-produce farm. Using the hydroponics technology without soil, Kann's farm produces hundreds of pounds of organically grown food each year, using far less water and only one-fifth of the land needed if grown the conventional way. Farm owner Richard Kann said, "When you're growing food without pesticides and chemicals, it's not just better for you, it tastes better."

A green thumbs up, Kann family in Orlando, USA, for your success with this green and organic farming technology! May you and others continue to prosper in such an eco-friendly way of providing tasty, healthy and abundant fresh produce.

In a videoconference with Supreme Master Television staff, Supreme Master Ching Hai explained more about ahimsa agriculture or alternative farming methods that do not employ soil to grow certain crops, thereby avoiding harm to other sentient beings such as the beneficial worms.

Supreme Master Ching Hai: There are many organic farming methods that at least you don’t hurt the worms. You can plant them in the water or you can plant them on elevated soil beds and you don’t hurt the worm. And in Vietnam (Âu Lạc), they cultivate, for example, peanuts in sandy soil. There’s no soil and no worms at all ever live there.

Plant your own vegetables; then you have absolute control about how you harvest, and what you harvest and what you eat.


Baghdad, Iraq Going Solar With Help From the US Army
US military helps implement solar power in Iraq. With a donation so far of approximately US$6 million, the United States Army has launched 24 solar projects in northwestern Baghdad to help stabilize power supplies in the region. This includes installations of medical clinics to help preserve refrigeration of vaccines. More than 1,000 solar-powered streetlights have also been purchased for installation in the area, with more to follow for
Fallouja and Ramadi.

God bless you, United States Army and America, for these noble contributions in Baghdad. May your caring gestures help light the way toward a green and stable future for the gracious Iraqi people.

Oxford team unveil energy-saving electric motors
Oxford University engineers build improved electric engine. The Oxford University Electric Power Group has announced a new energy-saving electric motor with improved efficiency that can be used to power hybrid cars. The engine is also scalable, meaning that larger ones could be built for sustainable applications such as wind power. The automotive version weighs only 13 kg, with a peak power of 50 kW, optimal cooling capabilities and efficiency as high as 97 percent.

Oxford University engineers, we applaud this climate-saving innovation! Best wishes for your success in developing partnerships to offer more efficient vehicles and other green products to the public.
